Keith Urban, Kid Rock and Miranda Lambert will headline Country Thunder USA April 14 through 17 at Canyon Moon Ranch in Florence.
Also on the lineup: Willie Nelson, Gary Allan, Kevin Costner & Modern West, Neal McCoy and Gloriana.
And we thought last year's lineup with Tim McGraw and Alan Jackson was as good as it got.
This year's festival was moved to mid-April to avoid conflicting with NASCAR in Phoenix the weekend of April 8-10. It's the second festival under the dynamic duo of Brian Andrews and Troy Vollhoffer. The pair's Nashville-based Premier Global Productions annually stages 150 concerts and festivals throughout North America, including the hugely popular Craven Country Jamboree in Saskatch-ewan, Canada. They have a reputation for loosening the purse strings to bring in star power - a precedent they set with last year's event that also included Blake Shelton, Keith Anderson, Little Big Town and Montgomery Gentry.
This year's festival opens with a kickoff party April 14 in the "Moon Saloon" secondary stage. Neal McCoy, Eric Church and The Grascals are on deck to play.
The rest of the festival lineup:
April 15 - Collin Raye, JoDee Messina, Williams & Ree, Gary Allan and Miranda Lambert.
April 16 - Love & Theft, Trailer Choir, Randy Houser. Big Kenny, Williams & Ree, Kevin Costner & Modern West and Keith Urban.
April 17 - Jason Jones, Gloriana, Luke Bryan, Williams & Ree, Willie Nelson and Kid Rock.
